In my referenced source, Gov. Chris Christie of NJ met recently in Manhattan with some business tycoons who were trying to persuade him to run. The next to the last paragraph states that several said that "they are Republicans, but voted for Barack Obama in 2008 because they disagreed with having Sarah Palin on the GOP ticket."
What is frickin' wrong with people? Has this nation gone nuts. I know a college-graduate banker who voted for Obama because he did not like the way Sarah Palin said: "You betcha."

“I dont think this article is that far off base.” <<<
That’s my point entirely, that don’t you know Politico loved the quote, put it in the article, and thoroughly enjoy watching us stand on our head over it? I agree with you.
Yep, this is true about the money. I am still not sure what ‘virtues’ McCain had :) Still trying to figure that one out. We somehow gave the nomination to the biggest rival of Bush in our party, and he subsequently got destroyed by being identified as Bush’s third term. He is an incompetent boob.
I don’t forsee money issues this time, especially if Perry runs and brings the Texas money with him.

Exactly, a few rich voters in NY don't matter.
If the GOP needs NY to win the election, it's already lost.
If for some reason NY is leaning GOP it still doesn't matter because that means there is a GOP landslide in the rest of the country (think Reagan in 84).
Mclame had so many major mistakes, it has to make one wonder where they intentional.
We will have mc2 with mutt.
Progressive Republicans are worse than liberals. We always know what we are getting with liberals. Progressive Republicans say one thing, and do the other, so they can give us more big government and liberal policies than we would get from liberals. They put on airs of intellectualism, but it all boils down to fascism and elitism.
Ugh!
BTW, it would be interesting to know the percentage of Republicans who voted for Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush 1 and 2 and McCain.
My experience has been these people eventually 'out' themselves as fiscal conservatives and social liberals. Abortion is their litmus test.
Gop voted for Obama? Then they have blood on their hands! They basically spit on Christ when they voted Obama, said they are OK with Obama`s supreme Court picks, they are OK with infanticide etc..
It makes no sense that they would not vote for the ex governor of Alaska as VP and instead choose a community organizing “present” voter as President. If that is indeed the case, it's a miracle these people are tycoons since they must fill their executive positions by filtering gender specific names with the deciding factor being a dartboard throw.
By that ridiculous statement Medved reveals his utter lack of logic when he darn well knows that, other than immigration, he probably agrees with Palin on about ninety percent of the other issues. Why Palin is "completely" unqualifed when someone like Mitt Romney who implemented an Obama-like health care plan in his home state and believes in AGW is supposedly well-qualified is beyond me.
I agree but that aside who says this is even a true story?
I followed the link and there were no sources for the claim they voted for Obama because Palin was on the ticket.
It’s a Politico story and they are deep in the tank for Ostupid. I say the claim is made up.
Wishy washy Republicans and Independents are the types who will go with whoever has the popular momentum. The only person I see out there who can maintain the momentum necessary to win is Sarah. When she sweeps in with her huge base and the money that comes with it, her “screechy voice” will suddenly become unimportant. Frankly, so far, she is the only person who has been completely vetted and has shown the ability to stand firm and fight back in the face of all attacks. Go Sarah!
The only logical conclusion I can come up with is jealousy. She is a beautiful, competent, hard-working woman with true conservative values. She is everything the feminist movement said a woman could be and for some reason men and women don’t like her.
On a personal note, she is the inspiration for my daughter’s name, which is Sophie. My husband and I were going to name her Sarah, but with a last name of Lee she would have ended up sounding like a loaf of bread.
What a dream team! They’d get my vote!
What in the world??????
